TO THE COMMISSARIAT OF FINANCE
Moika, 43

The bearer—Evdokia Andreyevna Essen—wishes to submit a petition regarding the withdrawal of her deposit in the State Bank. I request that you explain to her how this petition should be drawn up, to whom and in what order it should be submitted, and what documents it should be accompanied by.

# TELEGRAM TO THE PEOPLE'S SECRETARY OF UKRAINE
E. V. LUGANOVSKY

[February 14, 1918]

To Kharkov
To People's Secretary Luganovsky

I have given an order to present me with a copy of the mandate given to Kudinskii by Podvoyskii. It is doubtful whether this mandate could have extended to Ukraine, where all commissars traveling from here are obliged to submit to the Ukrainian People's Secretariat and, consequently, to You.

I request that You send a copy of this telegram or the original of it to Kudinskii and ask him to speak with me over the direct line. I hope that this is simply a misunderstanding.

Chairman of the Council of People's Commissars, Lenin
